MAOR102 Māori Society

An introduction to the theory and practice of Māori culture and society in traditional
and contemporary contexts.

A basic understanding of Māori cultural concepts and the historical context within
which Māori society has developed to its contemporary position is critical to New
Zealand's development. A student who completes this paper will be equipped with the
knowledge and cultural awareness to participate more fully in New Zealand society.
The student will also develop a broader indigenous perspective that can be applied
globally.
